As I Was Saying...

First a HOORAY for As I Was Saying's... first interview!

Too many of us have been tricked into believing this thing called "diet culture" which honestly just shames you.  On this weeks episode we had the honor of interviewing Catherine Tulloch Founder of The Caribbean Vegan who is a plant-based chef.  This episode we will discuss veganism vs plant-based, food in the black community, and living your authentic truth.

If after this episode you are like omg I need to know her you can connect with Catherine here:

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and this year is the 19th anniversary.  To see how many movements we have is amazing and I think we have done so much work but still we have work to go.

This episode is my thoughts on trauma informed care as described in the article "What Happens Now: The Conversation We Need To Be Having" I had the honor of writing on behalf of The Army of Survivors.  The three main points:

-Understanding transgenerational trauma
-Being trauma informed
-Healing

I encourage you to read the article which goes deeper and let me know your thoughts, questions, and comments surrounding the topic.  This is a heavy time for folks and speaking on sexual violence is never easy no matter how many times I do it.  But to all the survivors you are loved and you are needed and we support you.

Thank you again for listening! If you would like to be interviewed or have any questions do not hesitate to reach out! Much love!

Hey Family,

So I would be wrong to not have mentioned in this episode the crisis and hardship happening internationally with COVID-19.  This pandemic has been medically and financially hard on numerous individuals and I will share pages and websites on my social networks that may add in support.

With many...or all my events being canceled I decided to spend the first few days of my time doing a deep cleaning. I stumbled upon some items that sparked moments that made me recognize the wall many of us have in our lives.  I took a step back and recognized that I needed to let the baggage of my past go.

Hey! Its your host Cheyenne Tyler Jacobs...so for those of you who do not know Season 3 of On My Block came out on Netflix and people went insane.  Folks were worried and still are worried if a Season 4 would even be coming! So you know I could not wait and watched and one night and let me just say I have never cried so much for a series show.  Movies? Yes. TV shows...No. From the character reveals and turns to Laundry Days song at the end Friends.

I posted a tweet highlighting this seasons mirroring of life events and not to brag but it has been going semi-viral.  Tweet can be found on my Twitter @shesjustche and I tweeted:

"#OnMyBlock really has me contemplating life and my emotional attachment to the show. Like the ending wasn’t an escape as much as a mirror to life itself. That song at end had me in my bag like I can’t y’all. This season actually messed me up."

So take a listen and if you want to discuss episode 8 more in depth and hit me up and make sure to follow me for my details on my upcoming episodes:

Welcome to the first episode of "As I Was Saying..." Podcast this episode was kind of done on the fly but thats how most of my choices are made.   Today we touched base on why I started this podcast, who I am, and what you can expect from me.  From there we moved into the topic that made me just start the podcast and that was reading a BuzzFeed article about Beatrice Dixon's, Target ad for her company Honey Pot Co.   I was so taken away by the commentary on her ad that a discussion was created under my platform the She Will Speak Series.  It got me thinking on Black Women owned business and how we continue to disrespect them and having a business myself this was something I could not hold anymore.  So this episode was born!

If you like I would suggest you follow for more awesome podcasts that are going to come your way. Also...I am so rude! If we are not already friends join my community on social media and my email listing on my website.
